This was a tremendous challenge for the Crown Prince, who was still a virgin.
He did his best to avoid looking at her body as he carried her, step by step, to the bed and laid her down.
He cleared his throat and said, "I was the one who ordered the drug to be used. I apologize for harming you by mistake."
Getting the lofty Crown Prince to apologize was no easy feat.
Shen Huoshui was still marveling at this when she saw the Crown Prince bend over and pull the covers over her, tucking her in so tightly that not a draft could get through. His gaze deepened slightly as he quietly watched her.
Caught off guard, she met his profound gaze. Unsure what came to mind, her cheeks flushed. She gave a soft cough and averted her eyes once more.
The Crown Prince slowly straightened up, looking down at her from his full height. His thin, scarlet lips parted slightly.
"The drug will wear off in the time it takes half an incense stick to burn. Just rest easy."
